Description
Summary:Includes inset map; "Chorographia regionis Huronum. Hodie desertae." Copied from François Du Creux, "Historiae Canadensis seu novae Franciae libri decem ad annum usque Christi 1656" (Paris: 1664). This was printed in the Champlain Society Publications, volumes 30-31, translated by Percy J. Robinson (Toronto: 1951). A note by P. J. Robinson states that this map deserves study and is of special value on account of the inset map of the Huron country, the improved outline of the lakes, especially Lake Ontario, and Georgian Bay, the marking of the trails to the Hudson Bay and of the new route discovered by the Groseilliers and Radisson from Lake Nipigon. 611: n.d.: C162tnf: Small
